Make daily tire pressure reading easierWith the daily variation in ambient temperature and the long-term slow loss of pressure all tires experience, it’s important to check your tire pressure every travel day. However, this isn’t a fun activity. Get dressed, find the gauge, go out and get down on your knees, it might be raining, etc. This can become a chore. You can save yourself this minor aggravation by simply turning on your Tire Pressure Monitoring System first thing. You can do this even while in your jammies. After you have your morning coffee, simply review the pressure for all your tires from the comfort of the RV. Many TPMS monitors have a “morning re-set” feature that displays 0 psi until each tire sensor has sent a new pressure reading, so as soon as you have a reading, you know that is your current pressure and not the reading from yesterday. —Tip from Tire Engineer Roger Marble, RVTireSafety.net

No more “runaway rolls”
If your paper towel holder is moored horizontally, you may find the roll unrolls itself as you motor down the highway. Here are a couple of suggestions: Wrap a bungee cord around the roll when you travel, or use a spring-loaded clothespin to pinch the roll end to the roll.

MORE QUICK TIPS

Garden kneeling pads – good in the RVGarden kneeling pads, made out of foam, are great for kneeling in the garden. But pick up a pack of them and you’ll have uses for them around the RV. We keep one with a box of disposable gloves so our knees don’t get wet when dumping holding tanks, or putting down manual stabilizers. But here’s another one: After bouncing down the highway, you park, go inside, open a cabinet door and hey, presto! Stuff jumps out of the cabinet! These neat pads fit right across the opening of a cabinet door (tucked inside) and act as a barrier keeping items inside the cabinet. And if you hit the bleachers at your favorite athletic or sporting event, they make a great cush for your tush. Here’s a link to a set on Amazon.

12 Thoughts to “RV Daily Tips Newsletter 941”

As far as violent storms go, I’m usually long gone before they occur in the region I just vacated. I keep an eye on weather reports, and evacuate long before it is necessary. Why, because I’m on wheels and I love fair weather. A little thunderstorm, just reminds me of home (La.). Other than that I am looking for and following sunshine and light breezes. See ya down the road, where ever the sun is shining…..

Kneeling pads. A gift from God! My knees are trashed from years of kneeling down in the snow and ice to chain up my truck when I was still working. I carry several of them in case I forget and leave one behind. CRS, you know.

Regarding bungee cords…..BEWARE!!!!
I am a nurse. I manage many medical cases that originated from only injuries. I have a patient who lost the sight of his eye….almost lost the entire globe if it was not for the fast reacting doctors at a specialized eye facility. This injury was not for a standard hospital ER. The injury was from a snap to the eye from a bungee cord. The injury destroyed his cornea and damaged his retina. So far 5 surgeries from accumulated damage.
I too have almost had a disaster from a snapping bungee cord to the eye. I was SO lucky.
My professional recommendation is to USE ONLY STRAPS. There are many wonderful adjustable straps you can get with various lengths. Harbor Freight has a good variety of sizes and colors.
